摘要:
A magnetic resonance imaging method for obtaining an image of an object laid in a space in which a static magnetic field is applied, so as to substantially eliminate motional artifacts. The method includes sequentially measuring a plurality of magnetic resonance views with a plurality of encodings by repeating a measurement sequence of exciting nuclear spins in said object, applying a phase-encoding field gradient along a first direction with programmed time integral to encode the excited spins, and detecting the encoded spins in the presence of a readout field gradient along a second direction to generate a magnetic resonance view so that measurements of magnetic resonance views with at least low-order encoding are obtained during the repetition of the measurement sequence. Thereafter respective magnetic resonance views are subjected to a first Fourier transformation so as to generate a plurality of projection views with a plurality of encodings forming a data matrix in a hybrid domain, displacements in respective projection views due to motion of the object are corrected using displacement information obtained from projection views with low-order encodings so as to generate a corrected data matrix in the hybrid domain, and the corrected data matrix is subjected to a second Fourier transformation so as to generate the image of the object.

This invention relates to a ultra-high speed nuclear magnetic resonance fluid imaging method for selectively reconstructing projected images of a fluid from an echo train generated by the use of a readout gradient magnetic field which inverses periodically. A pulse-like encoding gradient magnetic field is used in combination with a readout gradient magnetic field which inverses periodically, so as to generate an echo train containing alternately echoes whose phase change of magnetization due to a flow is emphasized and echoes whose phase change of magnetization due to the flow is corrected, and subjected sequentially to phase encoding. A data train containing only the echoes whose phase change of magnetization due to the flow is emphasized and a data train containing only the echoes whose phase change of magnetization due to the flow is corrected are formed from sampling data of these echoes, respectively, and two images are then obtained by subjecting them individually to two-dimensional Fourier transform. Both of these images are then subtracted.

In an imaging apparatus using the nuclear magnetic resonance, a solenoid coil and a slot-resonator coil are combined with each other so as to constitute a quadrature-phase detection probe. In order to operate the slot-resonator coil at low frequency, inductance is added to the slot-resonator coil. Further in order to cut the coupling between a transmitting coil and a receiving coil in a cross coil system, a capacitor together with the added inductance to form a resonant circuit is connected in parallel to the inductance. A favorable probe can be obtained in a vertical-magnetic field type imaging apparatus.

In a signal detecting circuit of, for example, an NMR apparatus, a signal transmission path transmits an AC magnetic flux signal to be superposed on a DC magnetic field whose strength does not change with time during a period of signal detection. The signal transmission path comprises a superconducting closed loop including a receiving coil receiving the AC magnetic flux signal, an input coil applying the received AC magnetic flux signal as an input to a flux meter, and a variable resistor replacing part of the superconducting closed loop and having its resistance value changed in relation to a change in the strength of the DC magnetic field.

An NMR imaging method for obtaining a tomographic image of an object through two-dimensional Fourier transformation imaging. After a whole image of a predetermined slice is displayed, a given field of view having a given size and located at a given position in the image is designated. On the basis of data derived from this designation, setting values for magnetic field generators and a signal detector are arithmetically determined for limiting the region in which the NMR signal is generated and the region to be imaged, whereby local imaging of the aforementioned field of view is conducted with high resolution. Further, division of an image resulting from the imaging operation is automatically corrected by exchanging positionally the divided image blocks with each other.
